Course Details

Overview

Flinders University offers graduate entry to the MD in South Australia and the Northern Territory, providing an alternative to the traditional pathway from secondary school to an undergraduate medical course. The four-year course enables you to graduate with a medical qualification comparable to a six-year medicine degree.

The MD aims to develop the elements of knowledge, understanding and skill central to varied areas of medical practice, producing graduates well prepared to act as hospital interns and with the potential to follow a full range of medical specialties in subsequent training.

Flinders are leaders in the field of rural, regional and remote and Indigenous health. To address the health work force gap in rural and remote areas, the university offers students the opportunity to study the Flinders MD in the Northern Territory through the Northern Territory Medical Program (NTMP) and in rural South Australia through the South Australia Rural Medical (SARM) Program.

Flinders further provides rich and innovative student clinical placements across our clinical schools in Darwin, Nhulunbuy, Katherine Tennant Creek, Alice Springs, Bedford Park, the Riverland, Mount Gambier and the Greater Green Triangle, the Adelaide Hills, Mallee, Fleurieu and Barossa Valley.

Flinders has a strong profile in medicine both nationally and internationally and continues to be at the forefront of innovation in teaching and research.
